I work on distributed and high-performance data systems. Most especially ECMWF's Meteorological Archival and Retrieval System (MARS), a perpetual archiving storing 400 TiB of meteorological data and its high-performance in-HPC parallel, the FDB. I also have primary responsibility for ECMWF's unstructured long-term archive, ECFS.Since September 2021, I have.

I worked on the NextGenIO project, looking to explore ways to integrate storage class memory (NVDIMMs) into operational forecasting workflows. This developed into wider work on ECMWF's high-performance I/O stack and long-term meterological archive (MARS).

Together with two partners I founded Transmission Education Limited in March 2014. We aim to facilitate real-time one-on-one tutoring over the internet across geographical boundaries, mitigating the patchiness of the quality and location of tutors and students.As the technical co-founder, I developed our online product, Topset, in a mixture of javascript.

I developed novel Monte-Carlo based computational methods (based on chance) to model the behaviour of electrons, and particularly their applicability on massively parallel computational resources. This followed on from work carried out during my PhD.In 2014 the novel modifications I made increased the speed of our area of computational chemistry by at.

I supervised groups of undergraduate students for the the entire first and second years of the Cambridge University Chemistry tripos, and the theoretical courses in the remaining years. This involved small group teaching (multiple groups of two or three students) on a weekly basis throughout the academic year, and ensuring that they were prepared for their.

I developed software for event monitoring scratch, as well as software for metadata backup and restore, as part of a larger storage system. This included work on a customer site.
